The reason why I say that the crossbow is inconspicuous is because the crossbow is too miniature in length, less than 20 centimeters in length and width, and the surface is pitch black, and I really don't know that it is a crossbow if I don't look closely.

Master Lu pointed to this crossbow, obviously implying that he had a ready-made thing for me, and as for why he wanted to help me like this, it was nothing more than a fancy to the eight old soul-fixing mahogany nails that I took out later.

"Master Lu, can I take a look at your crossbow" I stared at the crossbow and asked, no wonder he kept saying that it would be good if it was made into an arrow, it turned out that there was this crossbow.

Master Lu nodded, took out the planer and prepared to make the peach wood sword for me, "Let's see, if you want, you must exchange it with me with your peach wood nails." ”

I didn't say yes or refuse, I went to the corner of the stairs and took down the black crossbow, which was a little cold to the hand, and weighed more than I imagined, obviously made of wood, but it was as heavy as iron to hold.

The structure of the black crossbow looks very simple, the crossbow arm is a pitch-black straight hardwood, the crossbow holder has a very natural arc, it is extremely comfortable to hold in the hand, the trigger is smooth and thick, and it is not so easy to pull, except for the crossbow string, the other structures are made of hardwood with black paint on the surface, the workmanship is very fine, and it looks like a handicraft.

The crossbow is made of black wood with moderate elasticity. The crossbow string is made of many thin metal wires, two of which are spaced at a distance of no more than two centimeters.

Reaching out and pulling the crossbow to the hook tooth, the force required is not too big or small, and after pulling the trigger, there is a crisp sound of "bang", which sounds extremely elastic and powerful.

"Good stuff." I was a little shocked in my heart, what Master Lu said was right, if you make those peach wood nails into arrows and use this crossbow to launch them, you can directly shoot the peach wood nails into the soul of the evil ghost, and this speed is difficult to dodge even if it is an iron egg.

"How about this crossbow bow is made of wood soaked in special potion, and the other materials are made of extremely hard iron sandalwood, which is extremely hard, and bullets can't get in, and my iron sandalwood is still more than a hundred years of water-sinking wood. The crossbow string is even more remarkable, it is two of the metal wire ink bucket lines handed down from my ancestors, not only is it elastic, but also extremely strong, despite the small look of this crossbow, the speed of the arrow fired is not slower than that of a professional bow and arrow. Master Lu said proudly, his tone sounding a bit like a salesman.

I know what he said is true, but this thing is also very of limited use, and ordinary people don't need it at all, and he wants to exchange this crossbow for my mahogany nails, and to be honest, I am really a little reluctant.

"Well, Master Lu, your crossbow is indeed a good thing, but I don't know how many peach wood nails you want to exchange him for me, the preciousness of my peach wood nails is no worse than your crossbow." I said, in fact, what I said is also the truth, the cost of materials for this crossbow is not high, the high is high in the design and workmanship, as for the ink fountain line that he said from his ancestors, it is actually not precious, the ink fountain line of an ink fountain is dozens of meters long, and the material of these two crossbow strings is less than one meter.

Master Lu smiled and said, "I'll help you make a peachwood sword for free, and then help you make a crossbow arrow, and the remaining seven soul-fixing peach trees are all mine, and you can take the crossbow." ”

"Impossible." I directly refused, "I don't have enough arrows at all, in that case, then I don't need this crossbow, it's better to follow the original plan and just make a peachwood sword." ”

From the tone of Master Lu's introduction to this crossbow, I can hear that he has an urgent need for these peach wood nails, since he is in a hurry, then I am not in a hurry, and I have the opportunity to bargain, why don't I

Master Lu's face sank and said, "Then you said that there are a few evil ghosts you want to deal with, and you can't shoot every evil ghost with a crossbow."

I took out the soul nourishing umbrella and shouted out the iron egg directly, and said in my mouth: "I'm not sure about a few, but they are all on par with its strength." Master Lu, do you need to shoot it with a crossbow?"

I didn't bother to talk to this old man again, and let him see the extent of the evil ghost I was talking about.

As soon as the iron egg came out, Master Lu looked at the iron egg in surprise, the condensation of the iron egg's soul body was no different from that of ordinary people, and it didn't seem to have any sense of disobedience, in order to make Master Lu feel the strength of the iron egg more truly, I grabbed a small piece of wood on the ground and smashed it towards the head of the iron egg.

There was a dull sound of "bang", and the small wooden block was directly bounced away by Tie Dan's head, but Tie Dan had no expression.

"This..."Master Lu said in his mouth: "There are several evil ghosts of this intensity, are you going to fight ghosts or go to die, who are you messing with?"

I gave Tie Dan a look, and after Tie Dan got into the umbrella, I said, "So, Master Lu, if you want seven peach wood nails and only give me one arrow, it really won't have much effect if I take it." ”

Master Lu suddenly calmed down, the expression on his face kept changing, and after a while, he said, "Since you have such a powerful ghost boy, presumably your Dao method should not be low. Then I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I want your peach wood nails to deal with an evil ghost, if you can help me kill that evil ghost, I can do without your peach wood nails. And help you finish all the peachwood swords and arrows, and don't take a penny. ”

"Yes" I said directly, this deal is really good, there are iron eggs, a demon is really nothing, "Master Lu, where is that evil ghost and your grudge now?"

Master Lu said: "Don't worry, this evil ghost will not bring you any karma, in the first half of the year, my wife died unexpectedly and tragically, during the wake of the spirit, the evil ghost captured my wife's soul, I struggled to find a master who could deal with it, and I myself don't know Taoism, this year I have been looking for a chance to take revenge." A while ago, I finally found a Taoist priest, he helped me calculate the place and then asked for 500,000 yuan, my economic conditions are not good, I wanted to sell the house, but my house does not have a real estate certificate, and I can't trade at all in a short time. ”

I immediately understood the reason why Master Lu asked for such a high price, "Okay, Master Lu, you said that the hiding place of the evil ghost, we will help you solve the evil ghost now." ”

When Master Lu saw that I agreed, his eyes lit up and said, "Okay, young man, don't worry, I'll help you make things first, that evil ghost is far away from here, in a valley at the junction of Huangpu District and Zengcheng......"

"Well, it's the same place as us," Senior Sister directly interrupted Master Lu's words, and she said with a little surprise.

Master Lu was also a little surprised, and he asked suspiciously, "The place you said is also over there."

I nodded and said, "It's also a valley, but I don't know if it's the same as what Master Lu said, we're going to a mansion under a cliff, what about you?"

Master Lu shook his head and said, "That's not the same place, that Taoist priest said that there is only one evil ghost over there, I have also sneaked to see it, there is no big mansion over there, and I did see my wife's soul in that place." ”

"Oh, that's okay, Master Lu, let's go over together at night, help you avenge first, and then you come back by yourself, and then we'll do our business." I said.

Master Lu smiled and said, "Okay, young man, you first familiarize yourself with that crossbow, there are arrows in the drawer at the door, you can use it to practice first." I'll hurry up and help you make arrows. ”

We were both satisfied with the agreement, and it was okay in the afternoon anyway, just in time to get acquainted with the crossbow.

Mahogany nails are made into arrows and sent out with crossbows, although the speed is very fast, but it is more difficult to match spells and rune paper, so in the process of refining, you need to use spells to bless first, if you have enough time, you can use cinnabar to draw ghost killing charms on the arrow.

The three of us were very busy all afternoon, and Master Lu's carpentry skills were indeed exquisite, a ruler, a knife and a planer could make all the arrows in the same length and thickness. After he finished making a one, he blessed it with a spell, soaked it in cinnabar water, and then drew a ghost-killing talisman with a fine rune pen.

And I have been familiar with the black crossbow, after an afternoon of familiarization, the black crossbow has been practiced by me quite proficiently, hanging the string, opening the bow, aiming, releasing the arrow This process I have practiced countless times, basically in two breaths can be done in one go. This crossbow is also very easy to use, and at night, I can basically hit the target within 10 meters.

The only thing that was a little unhappy was that the black crossbow was so heavy that after practicing all afternoon, my hands were a little sore.

When I really couldn't practice, the eight peach wood nails became almost identical arrows, seven inches long, the arrows were round and not sharp, and a layer of cinnabar powder was glued with rice paste, which was not lethal to people, but extremely lethal to ghosts.

While Master Lu was making the peachwood sword, the senior sister thoughtfully helped me press the already sore hand, and after pressing, she went up to pack takeout, and when the senior sister came back, Master Lu's peachwood sword was also ready, and my hand slowly recovered.

At eight o'clock in the evening, we packed our things and got ready to go......

Twelve o'clock.
